lavatory fixtures, and particularly to holders 9 for soap dishes, tumblers,-and similar ide-i vices. In holders of this type, and particularly for soap holders, it is desirable that the holder should stand in a certain position, and the object of this-invention is to provide means for adjusting the holder proper with relation to its post, that it may be turned to the desired position, and firmly held in place,

and the invention consists in forming the .post with a frictional head adapted to enter 4 20 and interlock with the socket supporting the holder, andthe invention also consists'in the construction ashereinafter described and v particular-l recited in the claim.

I The hol er may be of any desired form and 5 design, here represented as four outwardly and upwardly extending arms 10 mounted in a socket 11 which is formed-with a circular, vertically-serrated chamber 12, beyond which isa contracted recess -13. The post .or support 14 is formed-with a serrated neck 15 and with a head 16, the head being vertically divided by a slot 17 and normally expanded so as to be slightly larger than the recess; The

socket is turnedto the desired position and set over the-.uppenendplf the post, the teeth 1 1n the, post engaging socket,- so as to prevent the socket from v,

'th the teeth in the) .head 16 enters the recess 13, with which it frictionally engages, 'so as to prevent the socket from being accidentally lifted off from the post. By spree ding the head 16, the neces'sary amount of friction between the post "and'the socket maybe attained. The externalform. of the socket'may be of any approved design, but-its lower end merges with the post, so that, when set in place, it appears to form an integral structure.

I claim: a

In a lavatory fixture, the combination with a post-member, of a-socket-member applied .tothe upper end thereof, a holder carried.

by and overhangingthe latter, the said postmember being formed at its upper end with .a bifurcated stem encircled by teeth parallel with the axis of the saidpost-member, andzaychamber in said socket-member shaped to correspond to the u per end; portion ofsaidi post-member, where ysaid bifurcated por- .tion is received, compressed and maintained under compression insaid chamber and pro vvided-with a complementary series of teeth parallel with its .axis for engagementwith' the teeth of the post-member, whereby the said post=member and socket-member may-be joinedina plurality of relative, rotarypositions in any one of which they will bespo'sitively held against relative rotation by the i said teeth. and in" which the will be'fric tionally held being ra'wn apart bf;

the co-action of 1 the bifurcated stem wit wallsof the -said chamber. t whereof, I have signed'this I. i j I In testimony specification. j I v A f AUGUST HALLBERG.-'
